Primal Scream to release new ‘sophisticated’ album next year

The band will follow 2008’s ‘Beautiful Future’ with their as-yet-untitled 10th studio album. Speaking to Q magazine, the band’s frontman Bobby Gillespie said that the record featured “sophisticated” production and arrangements. He explained:

“It’s a rock’n’roll record, but modern rock’n’roll. Pretty psychedelic rock, it’s kind of guitar-driven but we use guitars in an orchestral way, not in the normal way people make rock records. I think we do it in a more interesting way. We weave the guitars in with electronics and other acoustic instruments to make the core sound.”

Gillespie added: “The songwriting has got better! Live we’re a guitar rock’n’roll band but when we make records… it would boring if we just made guitar records, we’ve got our own way of doing things. It’s Primal Scream music.”
